    Sync old desktop files to new desktop


    I believe I clicked a wrong button when setting up my brand new computer out of the box, and as a result, my old desktop files did not sync to my new desktop. My old desktop folder on OneDrive still has all the same files that it did before I switched to the new computer.Is there a feature in Windows 11 that allows the user to do it themselves, or will it require professional support?I don't care if I overwrite my new desktop by restoring the old one, as all I currently have on the new one is a few brand new shortcuts and an empty Recycle Bin.

    :)

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    Windows Mobile sync new phone old files

    Create a new partnership between your new phone and your computer. Then you can sync the contact, appointments and tasks from Outlook to your new phone.

    When you set up the partnership between the new phone and your computer, select files to sync. Then you can drag the files from your old syncing folder (that was used with your old Mogul) into the new syncing folder that gets set up on your desktop for your
    new Mogul.
